Where is the proof that CrossFit is superior to other programs?

Here it is:

This rat muscle cell has been labeled with a red dye (left) that highlights an enzyme, lactate dehydrogenase, that catalyzes the conversion of lactate to energy, and a green dye (center) highlighting an enzyme, cytochrome oxidase, where oxygen is burned. The colors overlap to glow yellow exactly at the membrane of the mitochondria, demonstrating that lactate is burned for energy on the inside of the mitochondrial membrane of muscle cells. (Brooks lab, UC Berkeley)

So what the hell does all that mean? It's proof Crossfit is the ultimate way to train...the UC Berkeley scientist who researched the possibility of a fourth energy pathway have found proof! The methods utilized by CrossFit are the most effective, efficient and safe way to train. Don't take my word for it check out this link: http://berkeley.edu/news/media/releases/2006/04/19_lactate.shtml

Bottom Line:

"The world's best athletes stay competitive by interval training," Brooks said, referring to repeated short, but intense, bouts of exercise. "The intense exercise generates big lactate loads, and the body adapts by building up mitochondria to clear lactic acid quickly. If you use it up, it doesn't accumulate."
